v19.90.0112 - 2019-05-16 13:14
+ SC tab enhanced: New operation "textcolor" sets the Custom Text Color of a
tab. The "data" parameter holds the color in RRGGBB format. Example:
tab("textcolor", "CCCCCC"); // make the text of the current tab grey
+ SC tab enhanced: New operation "backcolor" sets the Custom Text Color of a
tab. The "data" parameter holds the color in RRGGBB format. Example:
tab("backcolor", "008000"); // make the background of the current tab green
+ SC tab enhanced: The operation "get" got a new data parameter "textcolor":
echo tab("get", "textcolor", [index]);
Returns the Custom Text Color (if any) of the tab referred to by index in
RRGGBB format. Example:
echo tab("get", "textcolor"); //text color of the current tab
+ SC tab enhanced: The operation "get" got a new data parameter "backcolor":
echo tab("get", "backcolor", [index]);
Returns the Custom Back Color (if any) of the tab referred to by index in
RRGGBB format. Example:
echo tab("get", "backcolor"); //background color of the current tab
+ Tweak to prioritize "Configuration | Colors and Styles | Colors | Match
selected tab with breadcrumb bar" over Custom Colored Tabs:
TabMatchSelectedWithCrumbPrio=1
+ Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Usability: Added option
"Wheel scroll lines (0 = use system value)". Use it to set the number of
lines that are scrolled for each notch that the mouse wheel is rotated.
Notes:
- Set it to 0 to use the global system value.
- The actually scrolled lines will never exceed a whole page. So you can
set it to a high value (eg 1000) to always scroll the whole page.
- The value -1 is reserved by Windows for "whole page", so that's another
way to always scroll the whole page.
- Values -2 and less will scroll in reversed direction.
* Trial Version: From now on the nag screen is only shown on first run (for
information) and on the last day of the trial period (day #30). The
current day of the trial period is shown in the title bar instead.
Friendly rules.
! Recent Location Pins: Pins still bled into the corners of the TPT snake.
Fixed.

Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.
It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

v19.90.0113 - 2019-05-17 10:02
! Mouse Up Show Down in Tree: When done on a special path with the current
node pointing to a real path the jump would go to a real path as well,
instead of to a subfolder of that special path. Fixed.

v19.90.0115 - 2019-05-19 22:41
! Labels: Since the max number of labels was raised to 32 (since v18.60.0201
- 2018-01-18 17:33) the labels #19 and #29 could not be set via the Label
column context menu or via the Toolbar button dropdown menu. Fixed.

v20.00.0000 - 2019-05-20 10:00
= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
+++ Recent Location Pins. Navigating a huge folder tree is much easier with
pins at your recently visited locations. One of those features you will
never want to miss again.
+++ Custom Colored Tabs. Now tabs can be individually colored.
+++ Wheel Scroll Lines. Now you can customize the number of lines that are
scrolled for each notch that the mouse wheel is rotated, independently of
the host system settings.
+++ Compilation Soundtrack. Compiled to the music of Gillian Welch & David
Rawlings.

v20.00.0001 - 2019-05-22 10:52
+ Find Files and Quick Search: Added switch /w by which the search will
match only whole words. It corresponds to the Whole Words checkbox on Info
Panel | Find Files | Name & Location.
Examples:
ultra /types=jpg //return all JPG files with "ultra" in the name
ultra /w /types=jpg //return all JPG files with "ultra" as whole word in the name
! Tabs: Selected tab of the inactive pane was wrongly colored in Dark Mode
under certain conditions. Fixed.

v20.00.0002 - 2019-05-23 12:31
* Autosize Columns: In v19.40.0106 - 2018-12-03 20:22 I decided that columns
should never be autosized on startup since the app should be opened
exactly as it was closed.
But, of course, if the startup folder is different from the shutdown
folder (e.g. via "Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Permanent
startup path" or via command line) then Autosize Columns should set in.
And does now.
! Drag and Drop Context Menu: The wonderful "Go To Dragged Item" command was
not shown anymore on drops from the outside. Fixed.
! Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Custom Copy Operations
| Configure...: The checkbox caption "Log to default location" was
rendered in an ugly way when disabled AND Dark Mode was enabled. Fixed.

v20.00.0004 - 2019-05-24 13:49
+ Tab Switching by Mouse Wheel: Now you can en/disable switching Tabs by
wheel. Factory default is ON, but now you can turn it OFF. This is the key
if you are into tweaking:
TabWheel=0
But there is a comfy way too: Right-click the empty part of the Tab Bar, or
the "New Tab" or "Tab List" button, and you can toggle the setting via the
new menu item "Tab Switching by Mouse Wheel".
+ Miscellaneous | Layout: Added command "Reset Zoom" (#1081) with default
keyboard shortcut Ctrl+0. Use it to reset the main controls font zoom
level to the startup values of the current session. Affects all controls
ticked under Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Main Contents |
Apply to...
+ Toolbar | Zoom In / Zoom Out: Added a right-click menu to those buttons
featuring the new "Reset Zoom" command.
* Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | For junctions as well: From
now on if this option is ticked then a Hover Box is shown for a junction
even if "Configuration | General | Controls and More | Miscellaneous |
Resolve junctions" is OFF.
! Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | Default File Manager |
XYplorer is default file manager: The checkbox caption "Log to default
location" was rendered in an ugly way when disabled AND Dark Mode was
enabled. Fixed.
* XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0145.

v20.00.0005 - 2019-05-25 11:32
* List | Wheel Scroll Lines: From now on in Thumbnails and Tiles views the
wheel does exactly one line per notch. No matter the system value or your
custom value in Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Usability
| Wheel scroll lines.
! MLS: The button "Select Color..." in menu "View | Tab | Background
Color..." was not translated yet. Fixed. Of course, you will see the
translation only in the next language file release.
! Thumbnails: Unrendered thumbs could happen on fast wheeling. Fixed.
! Tab Switching by Mouse Wheel: Did not work yet on the 2nd pane. Fixed.

v20.00.0006 - 2019-05-26 11:43
+ Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode: Added section
"Recent location pins". Here you can customize the color of the pins.
Note that color #000000 (pitch black) counts as "use default" and will be
reset to the default color #E956B6 on next start.
+ Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Recent
location pins: Added option "Match color with tree path tracing". Tick to
match the pins color to the current Tree Path Tracing color.
+ Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Recent
location pins: Added dropdown "Maximum number of pins". Here you can
define the maximum number of pins to be shown in the tree.
Note that the actually shown number depends on the number of stored recent
locations and how of them are currently visible in the tree.
* Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Usability | Wheel scroll
lines: Now you can specify the number of lines used for thumbs and tiles
views. Simply append it to the current number, separated by ; (semicolon).
The default value for the second number is 1.
Examples:
0 system value for all, but 1 for thumbs/tiles
3 3 for all, but 1 for thumbs/tiles
0;0 system value for all
5;2 5 for all, but 2 for thumbs/tiles
5;0 5 for all, but system value for thumbs/tiles
* Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Usability: Renamed "Wheel
scroll lines (0 = use system value)" to "Wheel scroll lines". Now you can
simply leave it empty to use the system default.
! Icons not correctly centered in large thumbnails views. Fixed.
+ Re-added tweak ShellIncludeSpecialFolders (originally added v15.00.0106 -
2015-03-15 19:41, then removed v15.00.0109 - 2015-03-16 11:10).
Set it to 1 to widen the range of "Configuration | Other | Shell
Integration | Default File Manager | XYplorer in shell context menu" and
"XYplorer is default file manager":
ShellIncludeSpecialFolders=1
Technically, if ShellIncludeSpecialFolders=1 then XYplorer is registered
in the "Folder" branch (in Windows registry), otherwise XYplorer is
registered in the "Directory" branch and the "Drive" branch.
NOTE: If you want to try this tweak you should first disable XYplorer's
shell integration. So you do it in this order:
1) Untick "XYplorer is default file manager" and "XYplorer in shell context menu".
2) Turn ON or OFF the tweak.
3) Retick "XYplorer is default file manager" and "XYplorer in shell context menu".

v20.00.0008 - 2019-05-28 13:27
% List: Improved the marking of cut items (Ctrl+X) by a dimmed icon. Now the
app is constantly watching the clipboard for any changes, so the marks
should always be in sync with the state of the clipboard even if it is
changed by other processes.
Note: This works in Vista and later only.
+ Tree: Now the marking of cut items (Ctrl+X) by a dimmed icon works in the
Tree just as nicely as in the List. In particular the Tree has learned to
show more than one folder dimmed at the same time.

v20.00.0009 - 2019-05-29 15:53
+++ Clipboard Markers: Totally revolutionized how items are marked that are
currently in the clipboard.
- Before, like in Windows Explorer ever since and still today, cut items
(Ctrl+X) were marked by a dimmed icon. However, the same effect is used
to mark HIDDEN items. So we have a semiotic clash (Is it cut? Is it
hidden? Is it cut and hidden?). Not nice.
- In Windows Explorer (and until recently in XYplorer) these marks are
not stable but silently disappear on location change or restart. They
also do not auto-react on changes in the clipboard triggered by other
processes.
- Copied items (Ctrl+C) were not marked at all!
XYplorer now gets rid of all those issues:
- Cut and copied items are marked in folder tree and file list.
- The markers are stable, and they are always in sync with the clipboard.
- They don't use an effect that's already used for something else but
employ a totally new way of marking: The items are shifted some pixels
to the right and a vertical fat colored line on the left marks their
state in the clipboard:
- Blue = Copied
- Orange = Cut
These are the factory default colors. The actual colors are taken from the
INI key DragStatusClasses (sections Copy and Move), so they are tweakable.
Note: Tiles and Thumbnails views don't look good yet. Work in progress...
% Undo, Redo, Action Log: New versions of the icons for various file
operations: New, Copy, Move, Rename, Delete.
* Undo, Redo, Action Log: The "Move" icon is now orange. Before it had the
same green as the "Rename" icon.
* Undo, Redo, Action Log: The "New" icon is now purple. Before it had the
same blue as the "Copy" icon.
! Clipboard Markers: Did not update on rename. Fixed.

v20.00.0010 - 2019-05-29 22:12
% Clipboard Markers: Improved the layout in Tiles and Thumbnails views.
Note that in Thumbnails and Large Icon views it was not possible to shift
anything (no space) so the colored lines are just drawn on top of it.

v20.00.0012 - 2019-05-30 10:27
+ Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles: Added section "Clipboard
markers" with two options:
- Dimmed icons: Tick it to show the traditional dimmed icon effect on
items that are *cut* to clipboard (no effect on *copied* items).
- Colored lines: Tick it to show the new colored lines effect (orange for
cut, blue for copied).
Both effects can be combined.
